I wrote VISA NationalCity CheckCard.

There's no way I'll be admitted.

You might not get accepted, but the upside is that you are not only bringing a ton of laughter to the TLS community, but to our friends, families, etc., when we tell this story to everyone we know. Hilarious.

Kind of reminds me of when a roomie wanted to apply to the Masters in City Planning program at MIT. He said he wrote in his PS he wanted to study under one of the iconic profs there (Kevin Lynch). I told him Lynch had been dead for about 10 years. His reply: "OK, shorten the list!"

Wow, this is like the first post of this nature that people have not really called BS on. I guess we all just want it to be true so bad. I would admit you, assuming it was a joke. The only thing I can think is that these forms are all official and stuff, and you are meant to be serious and truthful, ect. I highly doubt anyone would be a big enough tool to make something out of it, but meh.
